Why you are able to float easily using the terms density and buoyant force?

When the density of a object is less than that of the surrounding fluid, the buoyant force is great enough to move it up.

The contact force that acts on objects in a liquid or gas and allows objects to float is called density or buoyancy?
buoyant force
What is the relationship of buoyant force and density of liquid?
Buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. as the density of the liquid increases, the Buoyant force increases.
What does the statement 'the buoyant force of a liquid does not depend on physical statebut on density' mean?
Floating, or buoyancy, depends on the density of the liquid and the density of the object. Water is a pretty dense liquid, and things float in it; they are buoyant. Oil or gasoline are less dense; things that float in water may not float in oil.
What is a force helps a ship float?
Buoyant force = Density of the water * g * Volume of displaced water For the ship to float, the buoyant force must be equal to the weight of the ship. Density of the water * g * Volume of displaced water = m * g Density of the water * Volume of displaced water = m When you multiply the density of water by the volume of displaced water, you get the mass of the ship.
What is the relationship between density of a liquid and the buoyant force exerted on the mass?
buoyant force = density of the liquid*Volume*gravity. so the buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of a liquid.
What is the buoyant force used for?
To Float
What force cause objects to float when the weight is greater than a buoyant force?
If the weight of an object is greater than its buoyant force, then it will not float - it will sink.
What is the effect of buoyant force on the ability an object has to float?
The buoyant force is what causes and object to float. If the buoyant force is less than the object weight, it sinks. If the buoyant force is greater than the objects weight, it rises to the top. If it is equal, the object will float in the middle, neither rising or falling.
This force help a ship float?
The force that helps a ship float is the buoyant force. The buoyant force is exerted by a fluid upwards that opposes the weight of the object immersed.
How does a flat shaped object float?
Well it depends on the density of the object and the density of the liquid that it is placed in. The object produces a buoyant force that lifts it to the surface of the liquid.
What is the ability to float called?
Buoyant Force
What is the name of the Force that helps objects float?
Buoyant force.The buoyant force is the net upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged or immersed object.Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.An object will float in a fluid if the buoyant force on the object is equal to the object's weight.
